why complicate life?

Missing somebody? ... call
Wanna meet up? ...invite
Wanna be understood? ...explain
Have questions? ...ask
Don't like something? ...say it
Like something? ...state it
Want something? ...ask for it
Love someone? ...tell it


We have just one life,
Keep it simple

Of course that would be nice. But I guess the problem is that we make it difficult, but not purposely. As for explaing yourself, that never works out too well for me.. I try to do these things but my brain just won't let me.

"Why complicate life"?.....

um......because all of those actions you listed have consequences.
Some of those varying between being very embarrassing right up to getting you into serious trouble :eek:h:

Reminds me of this quote: “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

I like that this post is about taking initiative and not making a situation more difficult than it has to be- if you never try then you will never know. I think that what makes life complicated is the expectations that we have. Someone may reject our invite, we may never get answers to our questions, people may never understand us, we may not get what we want. For some individuals, that possibility of the unknown is worse than just not trying at all, at least in the short-term.

While I think that individuals should definitely seize opportunities and make the most out of life, I also think that there is complexity of varying degrees as to the possible outcomes in many instances that may need to be considered. For instance, sometimes trying to explain a thought process, aspect of one's personality, feeling, etc. can make situations more complicated or less understandable. It may be about weighing out the pros and cons of the situations as well as considering the situation on a case-by-case basis, but not automatically letting any potential negative aspects halt someone from taking a chance.

Perhaps I made this more complicated than I had to... :)

This can be applied to certain situations. But not all situations are the same. For instance if you're in love with your best friend's bf or husband, would you come right out and say it? And if you are gay would you come right out and explain to other people about this? Sometimes we need to think about the consequences.

This means a lot to me. I'll take heed

It's time for me to change. It ain't easy.
I made a confession to myself that I over-analyze everything.
I think it's the opposite of most normal people
There's some aspect of paranoia for me, in the inner game of chess; the way I perceive the world. I got deeply into my career in the SQL database way to categorise and relate any kind of event, object and person in the real world in a single-dimension timeline. It's for controlling a company or business to plan ahead. Office people use their buzzword phrase 'going forward'... as if there was never any crossroads, underground, water or sky options

They, and recruiters, or TV presenters, or sport stars have all had a natural brain lobotomy before birth, or still want to, and don't ever want to look at the night sky

The plain acronym for scripting, SQL, around since ~the 1960s...
structured query language to communicate with a database
the equivalent of your native mother tongue language, to ask people questions and get a reply, or drive your car

I think there is sense with that. I've loved my work
Structure in life. Think ahead. Learn from mistakes. Trying to relay this to normal people is futile. A scientist & mathematician. This seems to be criminal from others' perspective of me.

Communication is life's premium hell

To follow.... toleration, compromise, comprehension, affinity, attempting to strike a balance... this is what I offer to others, however different we may be. I DON'T GET THAT IN REVERSE. NEVER. It's a one-way life. I like to give, not take. Others only take. Or inhibit.

Humans behave more simply than Safari animals. A vet knows everything

Very true. This boils it down

But there is a balance. Silly to ignore everything. Silly to pretend, and lie - the way I was brought up: everything's alright

I know everything. I know everything. After finishing this post, I will immediately explore something else absolutely new and unrelated. I'll know more. That's what I do.

I know people. They don't know enough. They cause my trouble. I can't cope with that

i complicate my life by:

1. thinking too much...i can change this.
2. doing too many things...can change this.
3.having too many expectations....there are a few people who call me and want to be friends...but i want more...and in the process i lose the few friends who are decent enough in the first place.
4.i watch youtube for hrs and hrs...i could be a little disciplined, taking enough rest daily for a simple life.but hell no, i cannot let go the urge of sleeplessness.

i think i can be a little simple if i tried.
